    Ep 4 | Kathryn's Sunday Reset: Football, Taylor Swift, Cooking & The Art of a Perfect Sunday

    No, but listen… is Sunday actually the best day of the week, or is it just because we finally have an excuse to do absolutely nothing? In this solo episode, Kathryn is taking us through her ideal Sunday routine and all the little things that make the day her favorite way to recharge. From cooking a big Sunday meal and getting a little baking in, to catching up on everything that fell through the cracks during the week, she's sharing her favorite ways to slow down, practice self-care, and get ready for a fresh start. Of course, there's the Sunday football situation. Kathryn has never been the biggest fan of spending an entire day listening to people yell at the TV, but apparently football has become a little more tolerable now that Taylor Swift is showing up to the games. We get it. She's also getting into the beauty of a good Sunday reset: cleaning, organizing, tackling that never-ending to-do list, and making time for herself before Monday rolls around. Because sometimes the best self-care is a clean space, a home-cooked meal, and finally getting your life together. Whether you're a Sunday football person, a Sunday chef, or someone who just wants to spend the day in pajamas doing absolutely nothing, this episode is your reminder that Sundays are for resetting, recharging, and romanticizing the little things. Grab your coffee, light a candle, and get ready for your Sunday reset. No, but listen! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ep 12 | The Friendship Audit: Nonchalant Friends, Mixing Friend Groups, and The Pick-Me Dilemma

    No, but listen… can a nonchalant texter and a "we need to FaceTime right now" person actually survive a long-term friendship? This week, we are pulling back the curtain on our inner circles and having an honest talk about friendship. We’re breaking down our own friendship styles—from being the nonchalant friend to navigating the eternal debate of text vs. FaceTime. We’re also tackling the ultimate social gamble: should you ever mix your different friend groups, or is it an absolute recipe for disaster? From defining the non-negotiable pillars that keep a friendship alive to navigating the balance between your besties and your relationship, we are covering it all. Plus, we’re getting real about social red flags—can you actually be close with attention seekers, "pick-mes," or friends who keep everything a secret? Grab a drink, send this to your group chat, and listen to two best friends break down the kind of friends they are and the people they choose to keep around them. Hosted on Acast.

    Ep 11 | Navigating Adulthood: Reverting to Childhood, The Multi Hyphenate Hustle, and Making Tacos

    No, but listen… who actually agreed that we should be allowed to make our own medical appointments and pay bills every single month? This week, we are standing in the kitchen, whipping up some fish tacos, and getting completely real about the chaotic, beautiful mess that is adulthood. We’re opening up about how hard it is to prioritize our relationships while building a career, and that weird psychological shift that happens when you go back home to visit family and instantly revert right back into your childhood self. From the stark contrast of paying bills and managing a life while in a relationship versus doing it completely single, to the absolute mental gymnastics of meal prepping, staying healthy, keeping your creativity alive, and juggling all of it at once—we are breaking down the reality of growing up. Grab a plate, come hang out in the kitchen with us, and listen to two best friends talk about life, survival, and everything in between. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
